    Indian Runner with a really large crop? Normal?

    The first picture is what I'm used to seeing around here, but the second one looks a little off, but if she's acting fine, I wouldn't worry. This duck seems to have a wide variety in her poops.

    Indian Runner with a really large crop? Normal?

    Trying to induce vomiting in a bird, of any kind, is a bad idea as the bird may aspirate on the fluids whilst they are coming out of the crop , which can result in pneumonia which is often fatal. The best thing, would be to wait tomorrow morning, and feel her crop then. Also, pay attention to...
